🌏 What is an Eco Resort, Really?
“Eco Resort” has become a buzzword in the travel industry. But what does it actually mean? At its core, an eco resort is more than just bamboo bungalows and solar panels. It’s about creating a space that respects the natural environment, supports local communities, and inspires guests to travel more consciously.
A true eco resort combines sustainable architecture, low-impact operations, conservation efforts, and educational experiences. And that’s exactly what we’re striving to do at Pulau Macan.
🏝️ Pulau Macan: Eco Efforts in a Slice of Paradise
Pulau Macan is located in the Thousand Islands, just 2–3 hours by public boat from Marina Ancol. It feels remote, quiet, and intimate—but still within reach of Jakarta.
As an eco resort, Pulau Macan puts sustainability at the heart of everything:
No single-use plastic on the island
Solar power for energy
Mindful water use
Natural materials used in rooms and common areas
Coral and mangrove restoration programs (seasonal participation)
We also educate every new guest on our environmental principles upon arrival, helping visitors connect with the land and sea in a respectful and meaningful way.
🛏️ Eco Stay, Real Comfort
You won’t find luxury in the conventional sense here—no air-conditioning, no flatscreen TVs. What you’ll find instead is:
Rooms made from reclaimed wood and upcycled materials
Natural ventilation with sea breeze and shade
Oceanfront decks and hammock nooks
Refillable water stations everywhere
Our aim is to create “luxury in simplicity”—a slow, intentional lifestyle that brings you back to what truly matters.
🌊 Living in Harmony with Nature
Guests at Pulau Macan often describe their experience as a gentle awakening. It’s not just about disconnecting from the city, but also about reconnecting with nature.
Whether you’re snorkeling in coral gardens, joining a beach cleanup, or planting mangrove saplings, every activity is designed to deepen your appreciation for our oceans and ecosystems.

“Pulau Macan made me rethink what comfort and sustainability really mean. It's not about going without, it's about having exactly what you need—and giving something back to the planet while you're at it.”
âś… Our Commitment is Ongoing
We know being an eco resort is a journey, not a finish line. That’s why we’re constantly improving: exploring better energy solutions, reviewing our sourcing practices, and listening to feedback from conscious travelers like you.
Our hope is simple: to inspire more people to travel kindly, tread lightly, and care deeply.
đź“… Planning a Visit?
Pulau Macan is open year-round, with the dry season (April to October) offering the best weather for outdoor adventures. Weekends fill up quickly, so we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance.
